Yhangry Reviews from verified customers

Unfortunately I have to report that our meal by Helio was not at all good and we have been left extremely disappointed on what was supposed to be a special occasion.  Helio was very nice and courteous, and helpful in planning our menu. He also offered to put on two additional canapés for no additional cost, which we appreciated.  However the food was extremely bad, and totally lacking in technical skill. - The starters: whipped blue cheese and figs was simply figs arranged on a plate with blue cheese crumbled over and apparently store-bought balsamic, the terrine was hugely garlicky and totally solid. It was served with stale toasts which you were unable to spread the terrine onto anyway, given that it was so hard. - The main of beef wellington was dreadful - the beef itself, which we were convinced was not actually fillet, had been overcooked to the extent that it was grey throughout and so tough it was impossible to cut through. The pastry was undercooked, soggy and collapsing and there were other layers that were simply missing (a proper mushroom duxelles and Parma harm). It is hard to believe that Helio had any experience in making this dish. - The gravy was reminiscent of Bisto. As keen amateur/hobby cooks, we have made much better versions ourselves. - The accompanying vegetables were overcooked frozen green beans and mushy red cabbage. - The dauphinoise potatoes, as with the beef wellington, were not reminiscent of the actual dish at all, they were hard, under seasoned and totally lacking the characteristic richness. - Elements of the main were frankly disgusting and inedible. - Finally, the dessert was not sticky toffee pudding at all but steamed sponge with uncooked booze of some variety poured all over. It was served with basic ice cream from Tesco which appeared to have freezer burn. - On top of this, all the food was served tepid.  I feel extremely upset and let down by this experience. It was to be a special treat for my family on Christmas Day and a surprise for my son on his 30th birthday - an event which had been in the planning for several months. I cannot trust that Yhangry takes any care in vetting its chefs as Helio was quite clearly totally unqualified. In addition Helio appeared to be highly rated on Yhangry and yet he told me that ours was the first booking since he had joined Yhangry. Your assessment process seems questionable.  I can confidently say that I am most unlikely to use the service again.  I am certainly not willing to pay for last night’s unhappy experience.  I look forward to hearing from you that you will refund me.

Below find my feedback of my Christmas day brunch with Chef Nickandra: 1. On the positive side, the food tasted good (the Frittata according to those who tasted it was delicious). She is an amiable and easy to work with. My kitchen was left clean, which was quite a relief. 2. On the negative side, Chef Nickandra had a babysitter problem that day and as a result she was late for the event. This tardiness caused a domino effect which practically ruined the entire experience (the quinoa salad was not prepared, no table set up or table Christmas decorations as had been suggested, and the food presentation was pretty poor). To begin with, I believe that she had underestimated the time it would take to prepare the whole menu and table set up. This and the babysitter problem caused an irrecoverable delay which impacted the whole event. Suffice to say that I am quite disappointed at the whole experience.

We have a fantastic experience with Paule catering for us on Christmas Day for 6 adults. Seamless experience from start to finish in terms of contact prior to the day to finalise menu / arrangements, arrival / meal preparation, serving the meal & cleaning up afterwards. The food was absolutely fantastic - great flavours & well presented. Only downside was it took us 3 days to finish the desserts off there was so much food! Highly recommend !

Outstanding, will certainly use again

The food didn’t really meet my expectations but loved the whole idea of not having to cook, so would do this again.

Wonderful experience, food was excellent!

Chef Anaam was receptive to my suggestions and willing to work with us on the menu. He was pleasant and great with his stories. His side dishes and desserts were superb.

What to say! Everything was delicious, we can’t thank you enough for making our evening so special. thanks Antonio!

Chef was brilliant! Great attitude and made our Christmas dinner incredibly special. Cannot thank you enough Lukasz!
